Chapter 6 Problems with the House

I have never had the problem of sleepwalking.

But since sleeping in the master bedroom of this house last night, I have been sleepwalking for no reason.

And tonight, I'm sleeping here with Meng Yifan. Not only have I been sleepwalking, but even Meng Yifan has started sleepwalking.

Even if I don't believe in evil, I feel that this house is incredibly sinister.

In addition, the disappearing cement shoe prints reappeared, and my first reaction was to escape from here!

There's a problem with this house!

Meng Yifan is still sleepwalking, and it seems that he hasn't woken up at all.

I bravely and bravely called him twice.

But I dare not shout too loudly, because I heard that people who sleep can easily become dementia if they are awakened.

Fortunately, although I shouted softly, Meng Yifan still woke up.

He opened his eyes in confusion and the remote control in his hand fell to the ground.

After seeing for four weeks, he suddenly shuddered and his gaze remained on the floor at the entrance of the master bedroom.

He seemed to have also seen those shocking cement shoe prints.

"Sleeping trough! Sleeping trough!" He let out a strange cry twice, ignoring me and running out of the house on the ground.

"Meng Yifan! You wait for me!"

I was also scared silly, grabbed my phone and rushed out of the living room.

We ran downstairs frantically, not daring to stop for a moment, until we ran out of this community and found that Meng Yifan's slippers were all lost.

On the deserted street, one could only hear the sound of cleaners sweeping the floor in the distance.

Meng Yifan and I squatted awkwardly under the tree, holding our legs and trembling.

"How could it be... how could it be..."

"I slept well in bed... well, well..."

Meng Yifan's reaction was even stronger than mine.

He was originally a very brave person, but when faced with such a thing, who wouldn't break down?

"Mr. Meng, that house... shouldn't have really been in trouble, right?" I waited for a while before looking at him.

He also looked at me with a very ugly expression: "The house was sold by you. You asked me if it was useful, and I wanted to ask you!"

I said that there has been an incident with that house, and I can't guarantee it now.

Anyway, I have asked the seller before and they said nothing happened.

And even the police have investigated, the police can't possibly still help the seller lie, can they? I suddenly remembered something that the old lady in the community told me. She said that this house had been sold once before, and the buyer was the seller this time.

But after the seller bought this house, they never moved in and it was vacant for more than ten years before it was hung up again in our store for sale.

If the house is fine, why did the seller leave it vacant for so long?

Even if he rents out the house, he can still make a lot of money by renting it for over a decade.

At this moment, Meng Yifan and I have already reached a tacit agreement. If we were to say that the house had never been in trouble, we really don't believe it.

"Damn it, this matter is not easy to handle now." Meng Yifan's face was very unpleasant.

I understand what he means, this house must have been cancelled now.

Because we have installed surveillance cameras in the room, we must show them to the buyer couple.

If we don't take it out, it's a sign of guilt. But once we do, the surveillance shows that we ran twice in a row, and Meng Yifan and I even sleepwalked. How can we explain this to them?

This matter cannot be concealed.

And now checking out is just a small matter. If it's a big deal, we can refund the agency fee. But if the buyer wants to sue us, then we will not only refund the money, but also face legal consequences and lose money!

"There must be a problem with this house," I said. "You should have seen those cement shoe prints too."

When it came to "shoe prints", Meng Yifan's face turned white again.

"I didn't have the problem of sleepwalking before. Why do you think I just sleepwalked? As soon as I woke up, I saw..."

Speaking, he felt a bit overwhelmed.

I saw him so scared that he didn't dare to say anything else.

For example, the sound of walking in high heels and the sound of brushing walls that I hear.

What scares me even more is that the shoe print I just saw is somewhat different from yesterday's shoe print.

Yesterday's shoe print was pointed forward, pointed back, and disappeared at the entrance of the master bedroom, indicating that the owner of those high heels was going to the master bedroom.

But the shoe prints I saw today were pointed in front, pointed at the back, and extended from the entrance of the master bedroom to the entrance of the living room.

This indicates... that the owner of those high heels has left that room.

Meng Yifan and I stayed outside the community until dawn. Meng Yifan asked me to call the two of them to come over and take a look at the house together.

Actually, neither of us wants to go back, but there's nothing we can do. If we don't handle that house well, we might really end up in a lawsuit.

I took out my phone and called the two salespeople in our store.

These two shop assistants are recent college graduates, one named Xie Peng and the other named Li Xingyang, both of whom are relatively obedient young people.

When these two people received my call, they were still a bit confused. I didn't say much to them on the phone, just told them to take a taxi quickly, and Meng Yifan reimbursed their fare.

About half an hour later, these two people arrived one after another and kindly brought breakfast for Meng Yifan and me.

"Two leaders, what are we doing here? Are we taking clients to see the house?" Xie Peng thought there was a business coming to him.

Meng Yifan said with a pale face, "It's not about taking clients to see, it's about us going to see. The house that was sold by the two leaders six months ago... there's really a problem, it's not clean inside."

Xie Peng and Li Xingyang, two young people with higher education, were immediately stunned and stared at us with wide eyes.

"No, it's not clean... why don't you ask the housekeeping company to clean it up?"

"Clean your butt, there's a ghost inside!"

We couldn't explain clearly, so we had to take Xie Peng and the others back to that house.

These two people naturally don't believe us, thinking that we are teasing them.

After all, without experiencing those strange people firsthand, it's really hard to believe that there are really those strange things in this world.

We quickly returned to the house and looked through each room first. But just looking at it this way and in broad daylight, there is no problem at all.

And just like yesterday, when Meng Yifan and I ran out and came back, those cement shoe prints had already disappeared.

In the end, we can only watch the surveillance again.

The four of us sat around the computer and started watching from 11 o'clock last night.

Just as the video footage reached midnight, the surveillance footage suddenly heard a knocking on the door, which was the second time the girl who came to find Li Xiumei had knocked on the door.

Meng Yifan and I haven't taken knocking on the door seriously yet, and the video is still playing at a speed of more than ten times.

But soon, when Meng Yifan opened the door, I hurriedly pressed the pause button, as if my whole body had been struck by lightning.

Meng Yifan and I stared with big eyes and small eyes, both seeing each other's cold sweat rushing out.

In the video, after Meng Yifan opened the door, there was no one outside!

On the surveillance footage, only Meng Yifan and I stood foolishly inside the gate, while outside the gate

No one!

There's not a single person!
